Raw

I am raw, exposed.

Unearthed by the settling dust of my life.

I am raw, breathless 

Taken away from the little girl inside.

I am raw, naked

Seen as an object in men’s eyes

I am raw, silenced

It falls around wasted time

I am raw, set free

Just a step from reality

I am raw, Anew

Bound no more from the sin 

I am raw, beautiful

Awaken by only one man

I am raw, opened

Rejoicing the praises from him

I am raw, and he loves me 

For everything I did not do

I am raw, Carefree

I think this is awesome..
raw….honest…heartfelt…open
You usually associate raw to wounded and hurt…and yes there is that
but even more in this case raw=vulnerability, thoughtful, introspective….hopeful…
I loved that in this write…
the transition from bleak to "Carefree"…

To love is to bare ones self to another.... I see you found the experience free-ing

The concept and captivating repetition of the theme makes this exceptional. Not only was the tale well told but it was done with brutal honesty and confessional beauty. I loved it.
